The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A seated, exploratory adventure that feels like a gentle, curious journey through an alien underwater world, guided by a quirky companion.

What players say

This free VR demo offers a beautiful, atmospheric 10-minute introduction to an alien world, but players say its locomotion system causes motion sickness and the controls are unintuitive. The developer has been silent since 2016, leaving the promised 15-chapter arc unfinished and many uncertain if more will come.
